Ridley told E! News on the Oscars red carpet that she recorded the song on Saturday, and that Streisand was a "legendary awe-inspiring jaw-dropping superstar."

Yes, but does she have the Force, Rey? 

If you're surprised to hear Ridley is a singer, know that the news also came as a shock to Force Awakens director J.J. Abrams. 

"One day on set, she just started singing and had the most beautiful voice I ever heard," Abrams said at the U.S.-Ireland Alliance's Oscar Wilde Awards on Feb. 25. 

Ridley previous showcased a snippet of her voice while promoting Episode VII, singing "Baby, It's Cold Outside" with her co-star Oscar Isaac.
